Our prediction for this Championship match:
All eyes will be on MKM Stadium when Hull City and Blackburn Rovers lock horns in an eagerly-awaited Championship game. The Tigers aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Bristol City and Sunderland and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Riversiders. All Ryan Allsop, Ruben Vinagre, Jaden Philogene, and Dogukan Sinik are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Blackburn, on the other hand, suffered a loss in each of their last three league matches. As the visitors are eager to return to winning ways as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In their last meeting in the English second tier Hull City defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-1. Both Garrett and Travis are pushing for recalls to the starting line-up, while the likes of Dolan, Gallagher, Hedges, Pears, and Rankin-Costello remain in the treatment room.
Highlighted Team (Hull City):
Hull City are a professional football club that was founded back in 1904. The Tigers used to play their home games at Boothferry Park, but they moved to the KC Stadium in 2002. The stadium capacity is 24,450.
Hull impressed in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and, as a result, they returned to the English Premier League. Hull City fans consider Leeds United their main rivals, but Sheffield United are regarded as Hull’s fierce rivals as well. Steve Bruce took over the reins at the club in 2012 and the experienced tactician helped the team book a place in the 2013/2014 FA Cup final, but Arsenal proved to be a big catch for the Tigers in the title decider.
Hull City finished the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign in 16th place in the standings to achieve their highest ever top flight finish. It has to be noted that Curtis Davies was named the team’s player of the year in the 2013/2014 season.
